Chapter 206: Waiting for the Battle (I wish you a happy and happy Tanabata)
“WTF!?”
Even though it was still late at night, Sundar was woken up from bed by his secretary and heard the news of Angjiao.
"Yes BOSS, they suddenly announced on their online accounts that they are going to end the era of traditional search engines!"
The secretary on the other side had just been called, and after reading the news on the Internet in a hurry, he felt the need to report to Sundar.
"Fack!" Sundar quickly sat up on the bed.
"Notify others to get ready for a meeting!" He said to the secretary, a little uncontrollable.
His wife also woke up in a daze, turned over and looked at her husband: "What happened?" ”
"You go back to sleep, I have some work to attend to."
Sundar left the room and walked to his studio at home, which had conference equipment, and he quickly set up a meeting with the rest of the group's executives.
The executives who were woken up in the middle of the night were fighting, but they had learned from their assistants what had happened.
"Let everyone have their opinions." After Sandar said this, he almost couldn't help but yawn, he was fifty years old, although he looked well maintained, but his energy could not keep up.
CTO John said: "From the analysis of their words and technical characteristics, they should have made an intelligent search engine, although it is not yet known their functions, but from the perspective of their previous two AI products, it is unlikely that the performance is poor." ”
"It's probably the most technologically advanced competitor we've ever faced."
As John spoke, the faces of the executives became more solemn.
That's right.
This is not only John's idea, but also their idea, and the idea of the masses.
If it were just a small company or even another large company making such a declaration, it would not be possible to force them to meet in the middle of the night to discuss it.
But the edges and corners are different.
After the advent of Bai Ze Image and Translation, two consumer-oriented software, everyone was amazed and even frightened.
Bai Zena's natural language processing ability, which can communicate naturally with people and understand most of the manipulation instructions, can rub their current technology on the ground.
There are already many people who believe that Bai Ze is the most powerful AI model in the world.
In fact, the technology of artificial intelligence is developing faster than imagined, and it is developing faster than chips when Moore's Law was still in effect.
In a typical AI algorithm, the efficiency of the algorithm will be doubled in a maximum of 16 months, that is, the amount of computation required to complete a specific task will be greatly reduced.
For example, if the new version wants to reach the level of the old version, the amount of computation required is only one-eighth of that of the old version, and it only takes four months to double this efficiency.
But even with such a rapid pace of development, they still despair of the natural language processing capabilities displayed by Bai Ze's images.
Maybe they can one day reach the current level of Bai Ze's technology, but Bai Ze, who has a more powerful algorithm model, must evolve faster than their AI.
If they are one step behind, they may have to fall behind forever, until one day Bai Ze's algorithm also encounters a bottleneck.
But the question is, will they hit their own bottleneck before Bai Ze's algorithm hits a bottleneck?
Sundar couldn't help but sigh inwardly, which was why he resolutely resisted the edges.
He knew very well how terrible the goat was that was installed in the computer.
Now they are like a delicious meadow in front of this goat, and as long as the other party walks in front of them, they can swallow them slowly at any time.
That's why he didn't let the goat come and tried to kill it.
It's just that the previous efforts have been resolved, and the most hateful thing is that some of them have also rebelled, and they don't even have the determination to fight each other to the end and directly destroy the edges and corners, but deliberately pursue a win-win ending with the other party!
By the time he was angry, the executives had already had several rounds of discussions and came up with multiple prevention plans.
For example, increase their own publicity and reduce advertising costs to attract more advertisers......
Now the edges and corners have only moved, and they don't know where the other party will come from, so they really can't come up with any more solutions.
Sundar rubbed his brow: "Continue to exert pressure, and resolutely not let any of the other party's software enter our market." ”
Now he can only try to enclose the goats in the sheepfold, give himself a little time to develop, and turn from small grass to big trees as soon as possible, and at most give the other party a little leaves.
He suddenly raised his head: "By the way, in other major countries, we must also be prepared, we must not let them devour our market, it is better to keep them out of the market." ”
Hearing him say this, the faces of all the executives were not very good-looking.
Those countries do not have their own Internet companies, and they are not friendly to their groups, so they will be investigated or fined at every turn, and the amount of fines in recent years has accumulated to an exaggerated 8 billion euros.
If they want to keep the edges and corners out of these countries, they really don't have many resources at their disposal.
However, Anna, who is in charge of this, said that she would communicate with the other party.
The meeting lasted until almost dawn, when Sundar turned off the conference equipment and rested quietly in his chair.
Before the official shot, they had already waited for it to this point, and it didn't look like a big company at all.
But it is this caution that has earned them the position they have today.
For real opponents, they never dare to take lightly.
Angjiao is undoubtedly such an opponent.
Sundar only rested for a while, and after eating breakfast made by the housemaid, he drove to the headquarters to work.
As soon as he entered the building, he noticed that the faces of the employees were not quite right, and when he got closer, he immediately knew that they were discussing the edges and corners and the company's stock.
After being reminded, he turned on his mobile phone, and sure enough, he saw that on the stock market, his company's stock price was falling from the opening.
And the magnitude is not small, it is like returning to the time when Angjiao issued a public statement before, saying that he would decouple from them and would not cooperate in the future.
Alas!
In this regard, he could only sigh while thinking about the words to deal with the board of directors later.
Yes, there is also a board of directors at his head, and those talents are real big lords, and behind each one of them stands a huge interest group.
However, just as he walked to the office, the secretary, who had not slept well with him, immediately walked in again, and said in a hurried tone:
"Angjiao plans to release a beta version of the new product in the early hours of the morning at noon today!"
